Dentistry is the medical field dedicated to the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. This primarily includes the teeth, gums, and other related structures of the mouth. A dentist’s work is crucial not only for oral health but also for systemic health, as the mouth can often be a window to the body’s overall well-being, showing signs of nutritional deficiencies or systemic infections.In orthodontics, ‘symptoms’ are the signs that show someone might need Invisalign, like crowded teeth or gaps. These issues are not just about looks—they can cause problems with cleaning, lead to gum irritation, and affect the health of your teeth and jaw joints. At Liv Hospital, we often see patients with these concerns. Catching these symptoms early helps prevent bigger problems like tooth wear, gum disease, or jaw pain. Invisalign aligners work by moving the teeth into a healthier, more balanced position.
Malocclusions are deviations from the ideal relationship between the upper and lower teeth, often manifesting as visible irregularities.
The Impact of Crowding on Oral Health
Dental crowding occurs when there is insufficient space in the jaw for all the teeth to fit normally, leading to overlapping and twisting.
Besides crowding, having too much space between teeth (called diastema) can also cause problems. Gaps can trap food, irritate the gums, and sometimes lead to infections. Without support from nearby teeth, others may shift or tilt, making the bite less stable. At Liv Hospital, we use Invisalign to close these gaps, protect the gums, and make sure chewing forces are spread out evenly. Closing spaces also helps create a more attractive smile, which is important to many patients.
An overbite is when the upper front teeth cover the lower front teeth too much. In serious cases, called a deep bite, the lower teeth can touch the roof of the mouth and cause injury. Deep bites can also wear down the lower teeth and strain the jaw. Invisalign is very good at fixing these problems by moving the front teeth up and the back teeth down. At Liv Hospital, we carefully watch how the bone responds to make sure the bite is corrected safely and the tooth roots stay healthy.
An underbite is when the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth, and a crossbite is when some upper teeth sit inside the lower ones. Both can make chewing hard, cause jaw pain, and lead to uneven facial growth. They can also create small notches at the gum line from too much pressure. At Liv Hospital, we use special attachments and elastics with Invisalign to fix these bite problems, helping the jaws work together properly and reducing stress on the teeth and jaw.

Many people come to an Invisalign orthodontist because they have TMJ problems, like clicking, popping, or pain in the jaw. These issues are often caused by teeth that do not fit together properly, which puts the jaw in a bad position. Straightening the teeth with Invisalign can help reduce stress on the jaw joint and muscles. At Liv Hospital, we check the jaw joint carefully before and during treatment to make sure the changes help, not harm, the joint and nerves.
Teens often have special needs as their adult teeth come in and their jaws grow. Invisalign for teens is made to help with these changes, like late-growing teeth or habits such as thumb-sucking that affect the mouth. Teens who feel self-conscious about their looks may also benefit. The aligners have blue dots that fade as they are worn, so parents and providers can check if the treatment is on track. At Liv Hospital, we help guide teens’ smiles so they stay healthy for life.
Starting Invisalign early for kids, called Phase 1 treatment, is becoming more common. Signs a child might need aligners include losing baby teeth early, mouth breathing, or having a narrow jaw. Using aligners can help widen the jaw and make space for adult teeth, which may prevent crowding and avoid extractions later. At Liv Hospital, we see this as a way to help children’s jaws and airways grow in a healthy way.
X-rays are vital for seeing what the naked eye cannot.
Tympanoplasty is highly successful, with success rates generally reported between 85% and 90% for closing the hole permanently.
Yes, Invisalign is very effective at correcting overbites by repositioning the teeth to create a healthier vertical relationship.
Misaligned teeth often hit each other at incorrect angles, leading to premature enamel loss and chipping.
In many cases, aligning the teeth can reduce stress on the jaw joint and muscles, thereby reducing TMJ symptoms.
No, it is often used to expand the jaw and create space for permanent teeth, supporting healthy facial development.
